Russia attacking NATO would give a significant chunk of the globe the green light to obliterate Putin.
This is likely the route to ending the war on Ukraine with the lowest loss of human life.
So... Go on Putin, try it.
That would actually be 4d chess. Encourage Russia to invade and let Poland crush it
The problem with this is that Russia will rather take whole world down with it than admit defeat. They don't obey the rules (and laws) of war.
Anymore. The Russians themselves did for a time. Case in point the times a russian actively prevented WW3 or rather a nuclear exchange.
That’s a fairy tale - just another piece of Russian propaganda you seem to be unaware of.
So you are telling me Arkhipov and Petrov where just propaganda figures to promote the "good will" of the soviet union?
You can do that all day long, without hard facts I will not believe you, because both cases have been documented extensively and thoroughly. Ukrainian propaganda is doing a bad job, grasping at straws these days. I'm still 100% behind Ukraine, but negating everything and trying to paint anyone who isn't in line as the bad guy is straight out of the soviet and russian handbooks.
Painting Russia as the rational side who actually wants peace and the evil West as the warmongers (not just for this war) is a fairy tale and one of the main taking points of Russian propaganda. I’m not saying you’re on their side but if you parrot them without putting it into perspective, you’re doing their bidding.
I'd never paint Russia as the rational side - which is why the distinction between Russia and the Soviet Union AND the distinction between individuals is important, imho.
Yes, nuclear warfare is definitely the right path forward for the world...
Ooooh right, nUcLeAr WaRfArE! Forgot about that. Yeah, we should probably just let them completely destroy Ukraine, and after they're done, feed em whichever countries they want until they've had their fill.
Anything to keep Putin placated!
Appeasement worked so well for the world in the past....right.
Mutually assured destruction? Wats that?
That's the reason we need to not give Putin a free pass to commit whatever evil he wants. He'll saber rattle all day long, but he knows the second he calls that order that he's signing his own death sentence. He cares about himself above all else, so that shit ain't gonna happen regardless of how loudly they hint about it.
